Superintendent Adam Gallop, head of local policing for the south of Cambridgeshire, said: ‘We know there are a lot of people in the community who are talking about what has happened, including images and videos being circulated on social media.
‘My plea is for parents and guardians to speak with their children and do the right thing by contacting us with information.
‘I want to reassure the community that because they may have something on their phone, doesn’t mean they are in trouble, but evidentially it could help our investigation.’
